Transformers: Studio Series Thundercracker and Masterpiece MPM-05 Barricade Out In Australia

Thanks to 2005 Boards member griffin-of-oz for reporting that Transformers: Studio Series Thundercracker and Masterpiece MPM-05 Barricade Are Out In Australia.

The information surfaced via user Caminus Prime in the Ozformers Boards. Both Studio Series Thundercracker and Masterpiece Movie Barricade have been found at Toys”R”Us in New South Wales. Thundercraker is priced 60 AUD ($44.30 approximately) and MPM-05 Barricade goes for 180 AUD ($ 132.90 approximately). To make things even better, these figures will automatically be discounted at Toys”R”Us, as Transformers are currently at 15% off.

This is indeed a nice surprise considering that Toys”R”Us Australia if closing all their stores within the next months. These toys must have been received, or bought, before the official notice was made of the business being closed up.

A surprise find at a ToysRUs in NSW today, with the first sighting of Masterpiece Barricade and Studio Series Thundercracker.Considering that ToysRUs are now winding up operations in Australia, these toys must have been received, or bought, before the official notice was made of the business being closed up. As such, we weren't expecting new stock to appear there, so anything new in the stores at this point is totally unexpected.

The great news is that these will automatically be discounted at ToysRUs, as Transformers are currently at 15% off, and the discount might be more from tomorrow.Now to see if these show up at all ToysRUs stores, or just the ones closest to their Sydney warehouse (because it would be the cheapest option while they are minimising costs now).
